Financing water sector report

This three-year project on Governance & Financing for the Mediterranean Water Sector (mid-2013 to mid-2016) aims to diagnose key governance bottlenecks to mobilising financing for the water sector and to support the development of consensual action plans based on international good practices. Country reviews are carried out to identify main governance challenges to financing via in-depth technical work and informed multi-stakeholder national dialogues. Regional dialogue enables the sharing of policy experiences among Mediterranean countries and the promotion of best practices. The project is executed through an interplay of national and regional activities, where the outcome of national work feeds the regional dialogue, and findings and experiences from the regional dialogue bolster the national work. Strategic partnerships with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the FEMIP Trust Fund (FTF) of the European Investment Bank (EIB), the GEF – UNEP/MAP MedPartnership programme and the Mediterranean Component of the EU Water Initiative (MED EUWI) have been instrumental in setting the project in motion and under effective implementation.
